COMING AT YOU IS THIS MEGA RAD LATE 60s TECHNOS SPORTSGRAPH CHRONOGRAPH IN CLEAN CONDITION RUNNING ON A LANDERON 248
-
CASE: HEFTY SOLID STEEL CASE IN AWESOME CONDITION. THIS BEAUTY MEASURES A LARGE 37.25mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 42mm LUG TO LUG. I LOVE THE SHARP LUGS AND THE EDGY DESIGN ON THIS BEAUTY. I WILL NOTE THAT THE CASEBACK SNAPS CLOSED TIGHT BUT HAS A DIFFICULT TIME OPENING WITH THE SCREW-BACK. I LOVE THE TECHNOS SHIELD ON THE CASEBACK. THE ROTATING BLACK BEZEL IS IN GREAT SHAPE, AND I LOVE THE INTEGRATED BEZEL DESIGN WHICH SITS RECESSED INTO THE CASE.
-
DIAL: SIMPLE NO-BULLSHIT DESIGN ON THIS ONE WITH THAT SILVER SUNBURST FINISH AND THOSE HANDSOME SUNKEN SUBDIALS WHICH GIVES THIS ONE SOME NICE DEPTH. SOME GOOD POPS OF COLOR WITH THE RED ACCENTS ON THE SUBDIAL AND CHRONO HAND. ONE OF THE DEFINING DESIGN FEATURES ON THE SPORTSGRAPH PIECES ARE THOSE WHITE DAGGER HANDS WITH THE BLACK STRIPE RUNNING DOWN THEM. THE ORIGINAL AGED TRITIUM IS STILL INTACT ON THE DIAL WITH SOME LOSS ON THE MINUTE HAND BUT STILL FULLY PRESENT ON THE HOUR. SUCH A LEGIBLE AND CLEAN DESIGN WITH JUST THE 2 LINES OF TEXT.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS GUY IS POWERED BY A SWISS LANDERON 248 SIGNED 17 JEWEL CHRONO MOVEMENT. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH HAS BEEN BEHAVING AMAZINGLY FOR WEEKS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION. CHRONO ACTION IS NICE AND SNAPPY WITH OBEDIENT RETURN TO ZERO.
- THIS SPORTY CHRONO IS MOUNTED ON A VINTAGE PERIOD APPROPRIATE SWISS MADE RK BIG HOLE STRAP WHICH WEARS DELIGHTFUL ON THIS CHAP. TECHNOS IS ONE OF THOSE VINTAGE BRANDS WHICH FLY UNDER THE RADAR AND HAD SOME CLASSIC SPORTS MODELS ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR SKY-DIVER LINE OF DIVE WATCHES. THE SPORTSGRAPH, IN MY OPINION, IS AN UNDERGROUND CULT-CLASSIC. THIS ONE IS CLEAN AND A BLAST TO WEAR.
